Evelin Morrow · Answer 1

Encouraging saving by allowing workers to set aside a portion of their earnings in tax-free retirement accounts

Explanation:

Productivity increases when human capital increases due to higher education and training, when physical capital increases due to higher investments or when new technological breakthroughs increase productivity.

By encouraging savings, investments will increase as well as physical capital which results in an increase in productivity.
